Paul Sika’s At the Heart of Me- A Review

tape — Wed, 12 May 2010 20:51:14 +0000

Sci cultural gives their take on Paul Sika’s latest creative output :”The befittingly self-proclaimed ‘Andy Warhol’s grandson’ refuses to fit in a box (he negates that there is such a thing as a box) and this is reflected in his newly published photobook, where his inimitable vibrant images are presented, juxtaposed with prose that tells stories behind the people, locations and moments that played a part in creating his images, as well as stories of Paul Sika, the mortal, as he expresses his thoughts, his dreams, his encounters, his questions and his philosophies and sometimes how they relate to global ongoings.”
